Hapari Swimwear Review and #Giveaway

Alright since I was little I've always had a thing for water. From the second our pool was open in the spring to the minute it closed for the season, I loved to swim. I was even on a recreational swim team in the winter month's to keep up with it. They says it's one of the best forms of exercise you can get which is why I was always such a buff athletic girl. At one point and time I could even bench press my own weight which I was quite proud of (lol).

I have the hardest time finding bathing suits for myself OR bras. When I was younger and only a "DD" cup I could only find suits when we would vacation in Florida at the beach shops. But now that I am 32 and after two kids I am a "G/H" it is nearly impossible to find something appropriate in my size. I can't run around in a skimpy little bathing suit because I would just plain embarrass myself and of course my kids. When it comes to swimsuits and bras it seems like companies give up on you after you pass the "D" size. Like you are required to wear granny bras, mom one pieces, and forget about lingerie.

Even though I don't swim anywhere near as much as I used to, I always find myself going back to it. We spend a lot of our time in the summer here outside by the pool aka "office" and I even though I am in constant struggle with my weight, I still try to keep up with the latest bathing suit styles. One of the companies I have been dying to try for the longest time, has been Hapari.

Thankfully I recently came in contact with a part of the Hapari team and they allowed me to pick out a swimsuit for review this Summer season. It truly gave me a chance to see all the amazing styles they have for every shape person. I was even surprised to see they carried suits for men and boys as well! Their swimsuits are super cute AND appropriate for the curvier girls like myself. You would have thought I was picking out a car, it took me forever to choose between all the styles.

I ended up picking out two awesome sports tankini's (mix and match set) with a swim skirt coverup which I actually feel comfortable wearing out of the safety of my bedroom! I immediately tried on the top of the bathing suits to find (YES!) they actually fit. My tatas were appropriately supported, not hanging out or drooping down to my belly button. I didn't have a uniboob or four because of extra cleavage...needless to say I was thrilled.

Not only do these fit great and hold me in, they are extremely comfortable and fit true to their size. One of the styles is a little more flashy for those times I am feeling a bit more confident and the other looks sexy but appropriate for my age and size. I can still sit on the side and catch a tan in it without feeling self conscious or like I am in a "mom" swim suit.

"Distinctive and beautiful, Hapari swimwear is designed to enhance a woman's natural beauty — no matter her shape. At Hapari, we believe that every woman deserves a fit that will flatter her figure because you should look and feel great while having fun in the sun.

I love to go swimming when I am at the Lake and I like to lay around floating on a swim device. I stayed out too long one time swimming and laying around that I got badly burned! Next time I wore a hat and put on tons of sunscreen!

Well, I surely enjoy a morning swim at YMCA when the three older kids are in school and I can put my little one in childwatch for an hours. But, but, but I love taking the kids to the beach in the morning to watch the sunrise and then just swim and snorkel with them, before it gets too hot.

In the summer (pretty much all seasons) I nearly live in my hot tub. In the summer I turn the heat way down and just sit in it. I have a bad back so the water helps A LOT. My mother says I should have been born a mermaid. I agree :)

I used to love putting on a bathing suit and lay out in the yard for a tan or work in the garden, but now that has been out of the question, however looking at some of this beautiful swimwear especially the skirt type suit, I just might light to try a bathing suit on once again, thanks

I usually like to relax and sit under the shade. However, if I do decide to do anything active, like a Water Park, or something to that nature, I want a swim suit that goes to stay in place without worrying about it.

My favorite activity is going swimming to play and cool off from the heat. I do not like laying in the sun because I become red instead of tan. I definitely like to wade, splash, and swim in the pool. If it is shady and/or cool out then I like to lounge on the patio and listen to music.

I love the small pool we have behind the apartment building where I live because it's shady, which is perfect for me since I burn. My favorite thing to do in a swim suit is swim for exercise half the time, and just relax and float around in the water the other half. cardprincess(at)sbcglobal(dot)net

I live in Florida and wear bathing suits all the time even if I'm no where near water. It's hot and I don't want to wear more than I have to. I do like to swim when near water though. I'll dive right in and start splashing around. I also do a lot of fishing. It gets hot out there on the water but is worth it, especially when I catch dinner.

I love to sit in the shade at the beach and listen to the ocean waves while reading a good book and sipping a pina colada. I burn so I stay out of the sun as much as possible, but I also enjoy walking along the beach looking for shells and sea glass.

My favorite thing to do is float on a tube in our pool with a cold one..Sometimes I don't get to float long as my teen son loves to jump on the floats from the ladder and put a leak in them so I have to drink fast. ;)

It depends. If I have a great book, I'll sit under the shade and read, just loving the sound of the waves. If the sun is hot, I'll run in then run out really quick, just to cool down, then sit back under the shade. Sometimes I body surf.
